Just noticed that in the order denying Minnesota's extradition request, the federal judge noted that the basis of Abbott's argument against extradition--that Castro was not a "fugitive" bc he had been transferred, not fled--has no support in caselaw and is contradicted by it.
4 The Court has doubts that caselaw supports the construction of “fugitive” that Texas is considering. According to
Texas, it is investigating whether, in the context of interstate extradition, a fugitive is a person who volitionally leaves
the state in which he is charged. Here, Texas proposes, Castro did not leave Minnesota volitionally, but did so in
response to a directive from ICE, his employer. But as the Supreme Court long ago explained, a fugitive is a person
who, “having within a state committed that which by its laws constitutes a crime, when he is sought to be subjected to
its criminal process to answer for his offense, he has left its jurisdiction, and is found within the territory of another.”
Roberts v. Reilly, 116 U.S. 80, 97 (1885). Under this rubric, the focus rests not on the accused’s reason for leaving the
state, but simply on whether he in fact left. Consistent with this broad construction of “fugitive,” cases that have
concluded that an individual was not a fugitive all involved persons who were not within the state demanding
extradition when the alleged offense occurred. See, e.g., Hyatt v. New York, 188 U.S. 691 (1903); Fowler v. Ross, 196
F.2d 25, 35 (D.C. Cir. 1952); Moncrief v. Anderson, 342 F.2d 902 (D.C. Cir. 1964). And in one case, a circuit court
concluded that a prisoner transferred by state custodial authorities from Kansas to Wyoming became a fugitive from
Kansas for purposes of extradition. Gee v. Kansas, 912 F.2d 414, 419 (10th Cir. 1990) (“Once petitioner was moved
outside Wyoming State boundaries, he became a fugitive from justice within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3182.”)
(emphasis added). The transferred individual in Gee made no more of a volitional act to leave Kansas than Castro did
to leave Minnesota. But the Tenth Circuit still concluded that the accused was a fugitive for purposes of interstate
extradition.

I see that Trump's been out campaigning for Democrats in the upcoming midterms again. "People that own their homes - we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."
